Heat-Traction™ Anti-Slip Covers

Skip the shoveling this winter and melt ice and snow with Safeguard Heat-Traction™ heated step and walkway covers.

An electrically powered pad under the anti-slip cover emits heat to prevent snow and ice from building up, regardless of temperature.

Even without the heated option, the covers feature a rugged, non-slip surface that grips footwear and prevents slips and falls. With a variety of grits, colors, logos, and messaging, your safety upgrade works year-round. Our Heat-Traction™ covers:

  • Enhance safety, reduce liability exposure, and lower operating costs
  • Are effective, fast-acting, and add long-lasting traction and visibility
  • Have a five-year warranty (heating elements have a two-year warranty)
  • Eliminate the need for shoveling and costly snow melting chemicals

Heat-Traction™ covers are a complementary option that work well in conjunction with Safeguard anti-slip covers. The heating elements add an extra layer of protection when combined with the gritted surface of the anti-slip covers. The heated mats can be used in a standalone fashion or with gritted retrofit covers.

How to Install

Follow instructions for step cover installation and walkway cover installation using mechanical fasteners. Insert the heating element between the solid substrate (concrete, wood, etc.) and the Hi-Traction® cover.

Placement of grommet holes on heaters can vary. Align these holes with each cover as holes are drilled. Pre-drilled holes will be aligned with the grommet holes in the heater; match each cover to its corresponding heater.

Align grommet holes on heater with holes on cover.
